How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
A hog roast compared with other options
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
We pack away straight after service.
Sides make a proper lunch.
